While I was searching for red curry paste recipes I came across a recipe for a prawn and pineapple curry which sounded interesting. I had not used fruit in a Thai curry before and I wanted to try. I took my basic outline of a Thai curry and added the shrimp and pineapple and I used the freshly made red curry paste . Other than the flavour, the thing that I like most about Thai curries is that they are easy to make and they come together quickly. This curry was no different and it was ready in only a few minutes. The flavours of the red curry paste were so good! Though, it was not quite as hot as I would have liked it. I will add more red chillies the next time I make it. The pineapple worked well in the curry adding a nice sweetness and tartness to the flavours of the curry. It was really nice biting into the juicy and refreshing pieces of pineapple in the curry.

That looks beautiful and I'm glad to hear the curry paste worked well. Also, I am often disappointed with the heat I get in any dish with coconut milk--I've found you have to really go overboard with the spice to compensate for how much of it you'll lose to the coconut.

I lived in Tokyo, Japan for a couple of years and it is customary there to add diced apples to curry. Found the idea a little off at first but as they say, try something at least once! The slight touch of sweetness from the apples did compliment the dish.

This looks REALLY great. I love coconut milk and curry together and those shrimp look so plump and perfectly cooked. Perfect! Hey, by the way, did you see Iron Chef America last night? It was battle curry!

Okay, you said in your recipe that brown sugar could replace palm sugar, right? Knowing I'll never find palm sugar, this is a great substitute for me, but I'm curious...what does palm sugar taste like?

I loved the pineapple shrimp thai dish. I had this in Hawaii a couple of months ago and it was great. I had forgotten about it until now. I will make it this week. Thanks, Linda from dishingupfood.blogspot.com
